Planted tomatillas - mostly for use in salsa - two years and never got anything from them. Both years I had two plants and they both produced lots of flowers, but never a single fruit. Gave up on them after two years of nothing.

Next year, watch for volunteers. Gormy Cuss Jul 2012 #4

If you want really large fruit, try the varieties 'Gigante' from Burpee or 'Cisneros' Denninmi Jul 2012 #5
